Mark Long '13 Recruiting Profile

Hello, 

What makes myself a great candidate for your team is the variety of skill, speed, smarts, and character I possess. I began playing hockey at the age of three. Played in almost all notable levels possible, ranging from AAA selects, High School Varsity, Junior B, and currently Junior A.

I consider myself to be a grinder that also puts pucks in the net, and makes the players around me better. In addition to my hustle, my game is complimented by getting to the net hard, giving and taking hits, making the smart plays with the puck, and superb defensive zone play. I have always been the player coaches want on the ice during PK's, PP's, and crucial minutes of games.

Despite finding myself as the youngest player on most teams, I have always brought leadership aboard my team. Whether it be pumping kids up, or making sure my teammates are in line, my voice will be heard on the bench. I am extremely competitive, always dying to win, and making sure to stay positive in all situations.
